Plaque honors Beuerman's fight
By CAROL LUMAN
itatt Writer
The memory of a man who had the courage to overcome enormous odds to get what be wanted from life will live on in Lawrence, thanks to the efforts of his friends.
The man was Leo Beuerman. He was a paraplegic, he was deaf and he was a dwarf. And, about six years before his death in 1974 at the age of 72, he went blind.
His friends, a loosely organized memorial committee of University of Kansas students and members of the community who wanted to see that the city had something by which to remember Beuerman, dedicated themselves to preserving his memory.
To accomplish that goal, Anna Bloch, 1015 Alabama St., said, the group met only once to decide what it wanted to do and how to do it.
The 16-inch by 16-inch silicon bronze plaque carries the once controversial inscription "Remember me—I'm that little girl." I used to sell pencils on the street corner."
THE COMMITTEE decided to have a plaque made and installed on the northeast side of the building.
Last spring, a group of people argued
that conventions had the basis that it had
negative connotations.
However, those who favored it won by arguing that the words were appropriate because they were Beuerman's own—words he had written in a letter to a friend.
But the fight over the inscription that was waged at the several city commission meetings in the 1950s, and the fight Beauverian fought through his life. ONE OF HIS first struggles was for
ONE OF HIS first struggles was for mobility.
When he was a boy, Beuerman fashioned
Later, receipt of a specially, designed farm tractor "was the high point in his life," said Bender.
Beuerman's nephew modified the tractor for the crippled man so he could drive from his home in Lakeview to Lawrence. The tractors were made from Beuerman's own plans.
Once in Lawrence, Beauermann positioned himself on street corners where he watched the children play.
"But his favorite corner," Bloch said, seemed to be at Eighth and Massachusetts.
for himself a cart he pushed with his hands to move around.
But about five or six years before his death, Beuermann lost his eyesight and was plucked from the woods.
Dykes stresses libraries, health
It was then, she said, that some students talked about Kansas. Kansas took a special interest in sports.

Chancellor Archie Dykes told about 50 Chancellor's Associates in the Kansas Union Saturday that the greatest problems he faces are improvement of health care in the state and action of overcrowding and budget deficiencies to the University of Kansas library system.
The students, most of them from the
Before introducing Robert Kugel, executive vice chancellor for the Medical Center, to give a detailed account on Med Center programs, Dykes reiterated his concern for improved medical services in rural areas of the state.
The associates—one from each Kansas state senator district—are asked to join the group for three-year terms. They meet at least twice a year to review problems and research issues in legislative questions of Dykes and his staff. Eleven new associates were introduced by Dykes.
THE VERY SURVIVAL of many small town hospitals is the availability of health care." Dykes said.
In response to an associate's question about problems in KU's library system, Dykes said that library facilities were overcrowded, that Watson Library had a large number of books and decreased the library's usable budget and that library employees had low work morale.
The legislature, Dykes said, hasn't been willing to provide funding to keep library services. The staff of these services has resulted. He said library employees had been laid off, a "morale problem" among remaining employees and that the staff was enough hours to effectively serve students.
Committee make-up studied
The problem is complicated by company regulations' schools for funding, Dykes said.
The Student Senate is working to eliminate the frustration encountered by students who try to gain representation on the board of committees at the University of Kansas.
"The basic problem hasn't been in compliance with the 20 per cent, but in student participation," John Nettels, member of the joint subcommittee for 20 per cent representation, said yesterday at a meeting of the academic affairs committee.
"EVERY TIME WE request more funds,
The University requires that all its policy-making bodies have at least 20 per cent participation.
HE SAID students were unaware of the procedures, if there were any, used by their faculty members and instructors. Many students who are members of departmental committees are unfamiliar with matters that affect the department," he said, to participate in committee meetings.
Last summer, a subcommittee of the academic affairs and student rights, responsibilities and privileges committees, surveyed all University departments to evaluate the needs for selecting student representatives and the representatives' powers and duties.
JOHN OLSON, academic affairs chairman, said that response to the

the six other schools do the same," Dykes said. "We're trying to develop the thesis that this is the most important library in the state."
The associates also were told that KU's student-instructor ratio was about 17 students for each faculty member. The students-1 faculty member formula.
Dykes said Watson could be a central library for all state supported schools, which could improve library services for all involved at a reasonable cost.
Teddie Tasheff, student body president, and Steve Owens, vice president, also were asked by the associates that they thought KU's greatest problems were.
Consultants have been hired, Dykes said, to study the design of Watson and to make recommendations about the building's future. A new library building might cost $200 million, which could maintain scientific and technical materials might be built for about $15 million, he said.
DYKES SAID funds provided for instruction also had to be used to provide administrative and support workers. In addition, KU spends more than $1 million each year to comply with federal and state requirements for such programs as affirmative action and safety regulation, he said.
A fall training seminar for student resumes has been planned by the subcommittee.
Tasheff agreed with Dykes that the library system needed changing, and suggested that with higher tuition rates, approved by the Regents for the 1977 fall semester, might result in a need for more student financial aid.

A career in law without law school.
Three months of intensive training can give you the skills—the courses are taught by lawyers. You choose one of the seven courses offered—choose the city in which you want to work.
Now there is a way to bridge the gap between an undergraduate education and a challenging, responsible career. The Lawyer's Assistant is able to do work traditionally done by lawyers.
However, other projects of Frazier, KU's sculptor-in-residence, kept him from getting the project under way before his death last summer.
Since 1970, the Institute for Paralegal Training has placed more than 1600 graduates in law firms, banks and other corporate offices.
